Lillian Schumacher's diary tells her personal story in a unique style. “A Wichita Girl Comes to the 1904 World's Fair” tells the true story of this 18-year-old who came to St. Louis for her aunt’s wedding. She relates her personal and detailed experiences in St. Louis and at the World's Fair. Lillian ended up staying in St. Louis for about 2 months, near the very end of the Fair, and she even got a job on the Pike!
